Not sure how to take this. While your statements are objectively true, there are a lot of reasons the US won't attack the EU, even if the reasons are mainly economic.

Russia on the other hand is shit at waging their war in Ukraine but they achieved their objectives (land bridge to Sevastopol, etc.).

So the worry is not that Russia will wage a well fought war, but some war at all, even if they are shit at it, because it will do extensive damage either way. And we know for a fact that they don't shy away from it.

Now make an algebra out of the CAP theorem. It's not already one, isn't it? Didn't read the paper.

Newer wind turbines don't have a gearbox and are almost completely silent. When standing next to one, the loudest components are the electrical inverters/transformers.

Wings are loud

The API is great. Will definitely try it out. I have a use case already. How difficult would it be to extend this to support timed flushes? Like, every 200ms or so, regardless the fill of the buffer?

That's what the `window` option does (https://github.com/hackermondev/batched?tab=readme-ov-file#b...). After the first item is added to the buffer, it waits for the maximum window time, then calls the inner function with the buffer fill.

My hunch: it's not a real captcha on their page femboy.cat, but actually a script which "claims" the address in the ipv4.games game. Nothing to see here, move along.

Nothing so complicated. The HTML source of femboy.ca/ literally contains:

    <img src="https:////ipv4.games/claim?name=femboy.cat" hidden>

However, the question is why would this domain get 20 million distinct visitors (before being posted on Hacker News)?

Interesting. I looked up top 10 domains. I wonder if you could have it occur on wikipedia.org? Other random thoughts after looking at https://radar.cloudflare.com/domains... Maybe tiktok somehow? Or a bug in NTP? :D

For thorny problems I let the agent give me a simplified flow-chart in mermaid syntax. LLM's brain-farts are easily visible then. I correct the flow-chart "Ah, you're right!" and then let it translate it to code. Works wonders.

I often provide mermaid diagrams in my promt. Mermaid seems to be a good common markup to communicate relationships between humans and LLMs.

that's smart! I’ve actually been thinking about integrating something like Mermaid flowcharts directly into Nia’s output—visual context can make cursor etc understand context way better. have you found any particular types of problems where the flowchart approach really shines (or falls short)? Would love to hear more

That page can't be very old because it doesn't use any frames!

Well I've seen worse bookkeepers. "You know, you approved of the budget, but where are our customers payments in the balance sheets? We can't find them!" - "Uhm..."

Sure, let's compare an almost global failure mode with the worst examples of knowledge workers. ffs.

I’m coming back from my accountant right now. He uses winbooks and has interns doing the books. I have no tooling to do it for him, and I’m seeing absurdities such as a 4000 usd refund being processed as cashback, and simple typos not being caught. I wish I was working with an AI instead of this nonsense. It’d be far more accurate.

I believe it. I experienced this once, as I tried to have everything owned. Now I just clone around as if there's no tomorrow and tell myself I'll optimize later.

I need to do this, but I get fixated on interesting but premature optimizations.

Just clone everything, profile, and remove the clones that take significant time.

I'm kind of impressed by the speed of it. I told it to write a MQTT topic pattern matcher based on a Trie and it spat out something reasonable on first try. It hat a few compilation issues though, but fair enough.
